AIM: To elucidate the effects of platelet-activating factor (PAF) on eosinophil activation and the action of dexamethasone or theophylline during this process. METHODS: Eosinophils (EOS) from the peripheral blood of normal subjects were isolated. The hypodense eosinopil (HE) and normodense eosinophil (NE) were studied with electron microscopy. The effects of PAF on eosinophil activation and the action of dexamethasone or theophylline during the above process were measured. RESULTS: Hypodense eosinophil had significantly smaller individual granules than normodense eosinophil had. PAF induced eosinophil peroxidase release, and generated. Eosinophils incubated with 10~(-8) mmol/L PAF and 10~(-5) mmol/L dexamethasone released (101.17?10.32) mg/L eosinophil peroxidase (P

Recently,the incidence of Alzheimer's disease has been significantly increasing.However,the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease remains unknown.It is presumed that insulin and insulin receptor may be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.The relationship between insulin and cerebral glucose metabolism,the relationship between insulin,insulin receptor,insulin resistance and pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease as well as the possible mechanism are reviewed in this paper,and the progress of treatment of AD is also described.

Objective To study the promoting effects and mechanisms of interleukin-22 on liver regeneration in GCl4-induced liver fibrosis mice after partial hepatectomy.Methods One hundred and fortyfour C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into four groups:PHX group,CCl4 group,CCl4 + PHX group,and CCl4 + IL22 + PHX group.The blood samples were taken to measure serum ALT and AST levels.ALT /AST was calculated to observe the liver injury at 3 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h after hepatectomy.The liver tissue specimens were collected at each time point after hepatectomy.We measured the hepatic lobe to calculate the liver weight ratio and conducted pathological examinations to observe the degree of fibrosis and pathological changes at each time point.The positive expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in liver tissue was tested by immunohistochemistry.The level of CyclinD1 and STAT3 (Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) signaling pathway was detected by Western blot.Results (1) Compared with CCl4 + PHX group,the ALT/AST ratio of CCl4 + IL22 + PHX group was significantly higher at 24 h,48 h and 72 h,and the level of ALB of CCl4 + IL22 + PHX group was obviously increased at 48 h and 72 h (P ＜ 0.05).(2) The liver regeneration was significantly increased in CCl4 + IL22 + PHX group.Compared with CCl4 + PHX group (2.08 ± 0.16,2.77 ± 0.07,2.97 ± 0.14),the liver weight ratio of CCl4 + IL22 + PHX group(2.34 ± 0.07,3.23 ± 0.09,3.55 ± 0.09) dramatically increased at 24 h,48 h and 72 h.Moreover,the pathological sections displayed that the disease was alleviated (P ＜ 0.05).(3) Immunohistochemical assay and western blot revealed that compared with other three groups,the level of PCNA,STAT3 and Cyclin D1 was significantly lower in the CCl4 + PHX group.However,the level of PCNA,STAT3 and Cyclin D1 apparently increased in CCl4 + IL22 + PHX group at 24 h,48 h and 72 h (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Interleukin-22 may significantly promote liver regeneration and reduce liver pathological injury in liver fibrosis mice induced by administration of CCl4 after hepatectomy,which plays a positive role in the recovery of liver function.

Objective To explore a reliable method of 70% hepatectomy model in liver fibrosis mice. Methods Sixty-six C57BL6 mice were randomly devided into control group (n=6), the traditional group (n=30, ligation and removal liver lobe) and improved group (n=30, removal of liver lobe after blocking blood flow). Those 60 mice were induced liver fibrosis firstly, then randomly divided into six mice in each group, and were sacrificed at preoperative, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after liver resection. Liver tissues and blood samples were collected. The survival rate and incidence of complications were recorded and compared between two groups. The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were measured to observe the liver injury after 70%hepatectomy. The ratio of liver weight to body weight and the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were also measured to observe the difference of liver regeneration between the two groups. Results (1) Compared to the pathological control group, liver fibrosis model was established successfully in both traditional group and improved group, which can be used in 70%hepatectomy. So the follow-up experiment can be undertook timely. (2) Compared to traditional group, the survival rate was improved significantly in improved group (96.67%vs. 73.33%), and the incidence of complications was significantly lower (P<0.05). (3) The ALT and AST levels were higher 12 h and 24 h after operation in traditional group than those of improved group (P<0.05), while ALT and AST levels were increased first 12 h after operation and then decreased in both groups (P<0.05). (4) The liver/body weight ratio showed a decreasing trend 12 h after hepatectomy in two groups. The expression of PCNA increased at the beginning of postoperative, and reached its peak at 48 h (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference at each time point between the two groups. Conclusion By blocking blood flow to establish 70% hepatectomy model in liver fibrosis mice, we can significantly improve the success rate of the model, and reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective:To understand the medication safety events about cephalosporin in our hospital in order to provide evidence for the better medication safety of cephalosporin. Methods:Adverse drug reaction ( ADR) reports, medication error ( ME) reports and drug quality problem records about cephalosporin in our hospital were collected and the critical indicators in the reports were analyzed. Re-sults:The ADR reports selected in our hospital were mainly reported by pharmacists. More males were involved in the related patients, and young adults were in the majority. Second and third-generation cephalosporin were the major drugs used in the reports. The damages in skin and its appendages were the major damages in organs. The ME reports selected in our hospital were totally reported by pharma-cists. Errors in frequency and dose of drug administration were the most common, and the main causes were lack of knowledge and train-ing. No serious quality problem in cephalosporin was found in our hospital, and the inner and outer packaging in damaged conditions was the most common problems in our records. Conclusion:Cephalosporin as one widely used antibacterial agent is considered safe and effec-tive. Because of its large amount of application, cephalosporin should be paid more attention by health care professionals. MEs should be avoided as far as possible. ADRs should be treated timely and properly in order to decrease medical disputes. More attention should be paid to ensure security of drug use for patients.

Objective To explore clinical practice value of Disease Severity Evaluation Scale (DSAS), and divide patient's nursing level according to the results of DSAS. Methods The assessment group was set up for evaluation of the scale, DSAS was used to determine the nursing level of 3 713 hospitalized patients (age > 18 years old) from 17 clinical departments, from April to May 2014. Results Nursing level determined by DSAS was compared with the standard nursing level, kappa coefficient was 0.72, P < 0.05, suggesting that the consistency was better. According to the kappa coefficient, 17 clinical departments could be divided into three categories, namely the applicability of DSAS were different in different departments. Conclusions DSAS can be used as a objective basis for division of nursing level and has a certain clinical significance. But in order to make it guide clinical work better, scoring system with department characteristic should be developed on the basis of DSAS.

Objective To report a case of primary breast T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (T-LBL/ALL) and study its clinico-pathological features and treatment,to improve the recognition of T-LBL/ ALL.Methods A case of primary breast T-LBL/ALL was reported and reviewed the literatures.Results The female patient was 17 years old,was diagnosed as primary breast T-LBL/ALL who presented with multiple bilateral breast masses and left axillary lymph node enlargement for two months.The patient was treated with modified BFM-90 and achieved complete remission.The patient was in complete remission 12 months after diagnosis at present and till in follow-up.Conclusion Primary breast T-LBL/ALL is very rare and highly aggressive with bad prognosis.T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia chemotherapy regimens is often effective.
